OUTLET MANAGED PDU

3.When the terminal emulation program is ready to receive the file, return to the Outlet Managed PDU’s Save Parameter File menu, and press [Enter] to proceed. Parameters will be saved on your hard drive in the file specified in Step 2 above.

4.The Outlet Managed PDU will send a series of ASCII command lines which specify currently selected parameters. When the download is complete, press [Enter] to return to the command prompt.

15.2.Restoring Saved Parameters

This section describes the procedure for using your terminal emulation program to send saved parameters to the Outlet Managed PDU.

1.Start your terminal emulation program and access the Outlet Managed PDU’s command move via the Text Interface, using a username/password that permits access to Administrator level commands (see Section 5.1.1.)

2.Configure your terminal emulation program to upload an ASCII text file.

3.Upload the ASCII text file with the saved parameters. If necessary, key in the file name and directory path.

4.Your terminal emulation program will send the ASCII text file to the Outlet Managed PDU. When the terminal program is finished with the upload, make certain to terminate the Upload mode.

Note:

If the Outlet Managed PDU detects an error in the file, it will respond with the "Invalid Parameter" message. If an error message is received, carefully check the contents of the parameters file, correct the problem, and then repeat the Upload procedure.

5.If the parameter upload is successful, the Outlet Managed PDU will send a confirmation message, and then return to the command prompt. Type /S and press [Enter], the Status Screen will be displayed. Check the Status Screen to make certain the unit has been configured with the saved parameters.
